'Outstanding' Rath House on 52 acres of Laois countryside guiding at €1.7m

The domed conservatory is amongst the more notable architectural features of the house, designed by Richard Turner — a famous creator of glasshouses in Ireland, including the Palm House at the National Botanic Gardens

'The house commands its elevated position with quiet confidence,' the selling agent says.

An outstanding 52-acre holding, complete with exceptional period house and outbuildings, is new to the market with Newbridge-based Jordan Auctioneers.

Rath House is a 9,500-square-foot Georgian mansion set on sprawling parkland and fertile acreage in the heart of the Laois countryside — 14km from Portlaoise, 20km from Kildare and close to the M7.
